Encouragement for the Brethren and Sistren

Reposted from Saturday, August 12, 2006

When you can't figure out what "God's will" is for you, keep a few things in mind:

The great tragedy is not the sins that we commit, but the life that we fail to live.

Paul said that if it is in our power to do good, we MUST do it.

In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve an endless number of yes's and only one no. Why should we think that he gives us an endless number of no's and only one yes?

Sometimes, (this is my belief) God gives us the choice between multiple good choices, and He wants us to make the decision. If God hasn't said no, it's always a possibility, even if He hasn't outright said yes.

Not having the resources yet is never a reason to think God isn't in what you are trying to do. (See my provision vs. vision blog)

It's better to try to tame a wild stallion than to ride a dead horse. Attempt something for God, and even if you fail (or die), it's better than being complacent.

Just do something. Doing something for God is better than doing nothing.
